According to Wakaso, he called Atsu immediately after the winger shared videos of the goal on social media.

In their conversation, he added, he teased Atsu that he was making noise on social media because he scored a 'not so special goal.'.

"I told him to stop making noise over that 'allo' goal and he laughed over it. We talked for a while before he told me he was going to call back. That callback would have taken two to three days to happen but the unfortunate thing happened the next day," he said.
